Lemon Road Elementary School participated in a rank&file contest for best article in the sixth grade, and the following story was a runner up.
Recently the flamingos were stolen from the front of the trailers. The students from the trailers made WANTED posters and hung them up in the hallways so people knew about it and would want to help. The flamingos were stolen after school on Oct. 24 and the flamingos are still missing as of Jan. 9.
Student Ben Lett from fourth grade reported some information about the crime. First,Lett said that the robber drove a Subaru. Lett said that they knew that because robbers sent pictures of the flamingos. In one of the pictures, there was a flamingo next to some Subaru car keys. Lett said that Ms. Zykoskis class got 8 pictures and Mr. Simmons class got a couple more. The pictures of the flamingos came the day after they were stolen. In one of the pictures, the flamingos were hung by their necks with a sign that said “Is it us you are looking for?” Another picture was the flamingos at the Kennedy Center.
Lett also said that they had almost no clue who stole them, but Lett had some ideas.Lett said that a teacher or the other 4th graders not in the trailers could have stolen them. If it was a teacher they may have stolen them for a project.
Then Lett said that there was 20 in the first place, then 19 were stolen, and then slowly the trailer students started to find them at their recess. Almost everything is still unknown about the crime.
